Amish chew!!

[tom502]

I was wrong,
Genuinetobacco has it:

http://www.genuinetobacco.com/leaftobacco.asp

It's listed.
But they may not sell it by individual bags.

I got mine from Domestic Tobacco (also called Dewey Avenue Tobacco). I called on the phone and a man named John helped me by selling me one bag of each (rather than a box). Google "domestic tobacco" and its currently the first hit.

Thanks Tom502. And thanks fedora, I'm gonna try and call either place and see what deal I can work out, don't want 12 pouches of something I haven't tried before. :lol:

I don't want to order dip or chew online, as the high shipping prices turn me off, and I can get this stuff at local stores. The store may not have it all, but they will have something I can use.

Regarding shipping: The total cost for my 2 pkgs was about 8 dollars. Each bag was $2.40 - so shipping wasn't too bad. I got the pkg in 2 days, too. As to amount of tobacco - the weight of the bag is deceptive as the tobacco is not the same moistness (is that a word?) of Redman, but it is NOT dry. It is quite perfect, actually.

Just went to the Genuine Tobacco site and they have a small selection of General snus for very good prices. Who knows about stock level or freshness of it.

The Amish smoke, chew and dip like it's going out of style. Anytime I desire some long leaf I go some of the Amish up the road from me and buy it directly off of them.

I try browsing the website and it just pulls up a page about the PACT Act.

The General natural harvest was 100 percent Amish tobacco

I never tried that one but will always remember somebody saying the chew "tastes like Barn floor"..

[squeezyjohn]

I've had my own grown cured leaf directly as chew which I imagine is similar to the Amish stuff. Frankly what you're doing when you chew tobacco is putting a dead leaf in your mouth that contains lots of bitter alkaloids - yet when top quality leaf has been cured well it can have an extremely complex and balanced taste with notes of honey, leather, nuts and dried fruit!

Frankly I'm far more suspicious of the proprietary brands of chewing tobacco which are cloyingly sweetened with molasses or artificial sweeteners plus tons of artificial flavourings so the taste of the tobacco is completely masked ... that's when you're really at risk of consuming barn floor sweepings and worse.
